As of now can view two new map layers - OpenStreetMap and OS Maps - on sketchmap.co.uk, as well as greenbelt land for the whole of England. OpenStreetMap
We have added OpenStreetMap (OSM) with MapBox customisation to give the map a clean and attractive look. OSM was inspired by the success of wikipedia and contains crowdsourced contributions from thousands of users around the world.

OpenStreetMap on sketchmap

To view OSM on sketchmap go to the top-left of the map screen and select ‘Mapbox/OSM’ from the dropdown.

OS Maps - Explorer and Landranger
Two classic |OS maps, Explorer and Landranger, can now be viewed for free on sketchmap.

OS Explorer on sketchmap

To view the OS Maps on sketchmap go to the top left of the map screen and select ‘OS Maps’ from the dropdown. You will need to be zoomed into the map at least half way to view these maps, as they do not display at higher scales. The OS Map will automatically switch to the more detailed 'Explorer' map at lower map scales.
